Asked by Paula about 11 years ago

Volunteer with a Dept. but make yourself more valuable by getting your EMT Certification since that is where the majority of our work comes from. It takes longer to teach a person to perform EMS than firefighting. So that gives you a heads up against others. I don't know how your feel about the military but they do have firefighters that you can enlist for.

I really needed some help with the questions i sent earlier but i have heard nothing. Well God bless

What was the question again

I am in the process of debating the location and type of light I will carry on my ppe, wondering if I should have just a right angle light or a helmet mounted light. Or should I have both ? LMK...

Asked by joe almost 10 years ago

I keep my mounted on my chest where there is a holder for it. I also carry one on my helmet but when you are taking care of pts you dont usually use it since I would be shinning it in their eyes.
